New hostname for cluster member

[stuartbh]

ProxMox users, et alia:

I have a 4 node cluster and I wish to change the hostname of one of the nodes. I am running the latest version of ProxMox on all nodes and the node I wish to rename currently has no VMs or containers running on it.

What is the currently recommended procedure for accomplishing this?

I had actually intended to delete my original post as I located the link you mentioned before you responded. However, I will point out that I think I also saw places to modify "storage.cfg" and also "ceph.conf" that had references to where a host name change might also be prudent. If these files would have updated themselves over time absent a manual change, so be it, in the alternative perhaps updating the wiki might be useful to others.

This is what I did to check my work thereafter:

pushd /etc/
grep -ir 'my-old-hostname' * | grep -Eiv 'pve/.clusterlog|lvm/archive|lvm/backup'
popd;

Thank you for your response.
